I really love this cover of virtual insanity.

I know it's almost unrelated to the discussion because you're talking about the music video, but how often is Jamiroquai brought up?

I was very skeptical. You did not disappoint.

I remember my mind being blown away by a TV segment that explained how the practical effect was achieved.

Not sure if this is the video you're referencing, but it explained it for me: https://youtu.be/MzwY7ii582Y

Isn't this just Pasttime Paradise by Stevie Wonder?

[–] thesystemisdown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm a fan of both. I don't hear it. Different key, different progression. What are you hearing that I'm not? Also, IMO it's absolutely impossible to not be influenced by Stevie if you play this type of music, so there's that.
